INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING THE MACHINE

Raise the presser foot (2, Fig 3) by means of the presser bar lifter

(3, Fig. 3) to prevent injury to the foot (2, Fig. 3) and feed (1, Fig. 3).

FIG. 3. FRONT VIEW OF THE MACHINE

It is necessary to understand the stop motion (5, Fig, 3) by which the balance wheel (4, Fig.

3) can be released when required, thus enabling the operator to become proficient in the use

of the treadle, and permitting the winding of bobbins without running the stitching mechanism.

It also allows the operator to wind bobbins without removing partially sewn work and without

unthreading the machine.

Table of Contents Previous Page | Next Page

Sewing Machine No. 15

To release the balance wheel (4, Fig. 3, page 3) turn the stop motion screw (5, Fig. 3, page 3)

over toward you. It will be necessary to hold the balance wheel while loosening the stop

motion screw.

After releasing the balance wheel, place your feet upon the treadle and with the right hand

turn the balance wheel over toward you. This will start the band wheel, treadle and pitman,

the sewing mechanism having been disconnected.

Continue the motion thus begun by an alternate pressure of heel and toe, until a regular and

easy movement is acquired, and the balance wheel kept continuous rotation by use of the

feet alone.

When you are thoroughly familiar with the treadle movement, and can restart the machine

without turning the balance wheel in the wrong direction tighten the stop motion screw to

connect the balance wheel with the stitching: mechanism.

Place a piece of cloth under the presser foot, let the foot down upon it, and operate the

machine in this way without being threaded, until you have become accustomed to guiding

the material.

To Ensure Perfect Action of the Machine

The balance wheel must always turn over toward the operator.

Do not run the machine with the presser foot resting on the feed without cloth under the

presser foot.

Do not run the machine when both bobbin case and needle are threaded unless there is

material under the presser foot.

Do not try to help the machine by pulling the fabric lest you bend the needle. The machine

feeds the work without assistance.

The slide over the bobbin case should be kept closed when the machine is in operation.

To Take Out the Bobbin

Draw to the left the slide in the bed of the machine Reach down with the thumb and forefinger

of the left hand, open the bobbin case latch (2, Fig. 4) and lift out the bobbin case. While the

latch remains open, the bobbin is retained in the bobbin case. Release the latch, turn the

open end of the bobbin case downward and the bobbin will drop out.

To Wind the Bobbin

Release the balance wheel (4, Fig. 3) by turning the stop motion screw (5, Fig. 3) over toward you.

FIG. 5. MACHINE THREADED FOR WINDING THE BOBBIN

Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle (8, Fig. 6) and push it up closely against the

shoulder, having the small pin in the spindle enter the slot in the side of the bobbin. Put the

spool of thread on the spool pin (1, Fig. 5). Pass the end of the thread into the thread guide

(2, Fig. 5) at the left and near the top of the arm, then up into the lower eyelet (3, Fig. 6) of

the bobbin winder thread guide, into the notch (4, Fig. 6) and pass the thread through the slot

in the left side of the bobbin from the inside. Press the bobbin winder pulley (5, Fig. 6) down

on the balance wheel hub, and the latch (7, Fig. 6) will drop down and hold it. Then operate

the treadle the same as for sewing.

FIG. 6. WINDING THE BOBBIN

The end of the thread must be held by the hand until a few coils are wound and should then

be broken off. When sufficient thread has been wound upon the bobbin, the bobbin winder is

automatically released from the balance wheel.

If the pressure of the rubber ring (5, Fig. 6) against the hub of the balance wheel is

insufficient for winding the bobbin, loosen the adjusting screw (6, Fig. 6) and press the bobbin

winder lightly until the rubber ring is in contact with the hub of the balance wheel; then tighten

the screw.

To Thread the Bobbin Case

Hold the bobbin between the thumb and

forefinger of the right hand, the thread

leading on top from the left toward the right

(see Fig. 7).

With the left hand hold the bobbin case as

shown in Fig. 7, the slot in the edge being at

the top, and place the bobbin into it.

Then pull the thread into the slot in the edge

of the bobbin case (see Fig. 8), draw the

thread down under the tension spring and

into the delivery at the end of the tension

spring (see Fig. 9).

To Replace the Bobbin Case

After threading, take the bobbin case by the latch, holding it between the thumb and

forefinger of the left hand. Place the bobbin case on the centre stud (1, Fig. 4) of the shuttle

body with the position finger (1, Fig. 10) opposite the notch at the top of the shuttle race,

release the latch and press the bobbin case back until the latch catches the groove near the

end of the stud. Allow the thread to hang free and close the slide in the bed of the machine.
